The Indianapolis Colts are prepared for the possibility of losing offensive coordinator Bruce Arians as he pursues a head coaching job in the NFL. If Arians departs, quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen would receive consideration in replacing Arians in the offensive coordinator position.

Nancy Gay, of NFL FanHouse, reports Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning all but took over the playcalling from offensive coordinator Tom Moore and wide receivers coach Clyde Christensen during the second half of the AFC Championship Game. After seizing momentum with a quick-strike scoring drive with 1:13 remaining in the second quarter, Manning felt he had finally broken the New York Jets' defensive code. "From that point on, we really had a good bead on things. We were aggressive the first series of the second half. I was changing every play. Tom was calling some run plays. I just kind of got hot," Manning said. "And Tom, as he does, said 'Hey, you're hot - let's just keep it going.' And he has an ego when it comes to that. I just saw some things, was able to expose some things. And those were two huge drives."
